I'm really worried about this itchy groin I've had for the past couple of years. I tried using clobenategm last month for about ten days, and it seemed to clear up, but then the itch came back worse and started burning too! Now, I'm trying candidb clotrimazole gel but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Do you have any advice on what I should do next? I'm really desperate for a solution.

View allI'm really concerned about my wife. For the last 23 days, she's had this red rash with a black spot on her hand. It doesnt seem to itch until she actually starts scratching it. It's odd because it's only on one hand. I've attached a photo. Could someone help me figure out what this might be?
It appears that your wife may be experiencing a contact dermatitis with a secondary infection. I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent further infection. Additionally, she can take an antihistamine like Benadryl to help with any itching. Make sure to clean the area gently with mild soap and water before applying the ointment. If the rash persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm noticing these pimple-like bumps on my scrotum. They feel hard, and some are white. They're not painful, but they do get itchy sometimes. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?
